WASHINGTON - Tens of thousands of people were expected to march in Washington, D.C. on Friday to denounce racism, protest police brutality and commemorate the anniversary of the march in 1963 where civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr made his “I Have a Dream” speech.
Its 57th anniversary comes at the end of a summer of racial unrest and nationwide protests, sparked by the death of George Floyd, an unarmed African American, after a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes. Ben Crump, the civil rights lawyer representing Blake and Floyd’s family, will speak, as will Sharpton, members of Floyd’s family, and King’s son, Martin Luther King III, among others.
The march also comes as Black people suffered disproportionately from the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed about 180,000 Americans. Blacks have been more likely to be sickened and die from the virus and to lose jobs from the economic fallout. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, who received national attention when the district painted “Black Lives Matter” on the street steps away from the White House, has warned attendees that it may be difficult to socially distance during the march.
No COVID19 overthere?

Why don’t you appeal to thugs to follow the law and listen to what cops tell them then they won’t get shot but when you run or try to brandish a weapon I guarantee everytime you do that your not going to like the consequences somebody is getting hurt BlueLivesMatter
Did he express any opinions on rape, resisting arrest, or assaulting police officers? JUST FUCKING CURIOUS
Anything about denouncing rioting and looting of innocent people’s businesses? No? Thought not.
Bro wait the guy didnt even die.. i wish they did something like that for every white dude who gets shot
How about start listening to police orders instead of refusing and making a mountain out of a situation that never should have been, is it too hard to put your hands up!?
What about being a criminal? Some good parenting right there 🤦
How does this guy have the time? He's been on TV the last 2 days constantly. Certainly doesn't mind his 15 min of fame.
Did the woman that Blake sexually assaulted get to speak as well?
'Allah forgive me' I rest my case
This guy is teetering on 400 lbs... I don't think he's suffering much.
Where is the social distancing?
Doesn't look like much social distancing or use of face masks. Why aren't people whining today?
Victim?
